King Robert's Address.

SCOTS, wha hae wi' Wallace bled, Scots, wham Bruce has aften led. Welcome to your gory bed, Or to glorious victory!

Wha will be a traitor knave? Wha can fill a coward's grave? Wha sae base as be a slave? Traitor, coward, turn and flee!

Wha for Scotland's king and law, Freedom's sword will strongly draw? Freeman stand, or Freeman fa'? Caledonian, on wi' me.
